Old Man & Me |
| Well an old man said to me In a voice filled with pain |
| Where you going young man |
| Said I’m going to fight a war |
| Gonna fight for my country |
| In some foreign land |
| He said «The sun will never hurt you |
| Never harmed anyone |
| But you must realize» |
| If you try to stare her down |
| She will win in the end |
| She will burn your eyes |
| She will burn them |
| Seen a million places |
| Seen a million faces die |
| And I wonder who will walk with me When I get to Heaven |
| He said «Boy I was young once |
| Yeah I was tough |
| Sailing on Uncle Sam’s boat |
| Hey I could kill the enemy |
| I could die on foreign streets |
| But I could not vote |
| But now you walk by me You won’t talk to me Say this is my fate |
| But every time you walk the streets boy |
| Most of them you meet |
| You see it’s you they hate |
| It’s you… |
| Seen a million faces |
| Seen a million places die |
| And I wonder who will walk with me When I get to Heaven |
| I hope I get there |
| Seen a million places |
| Seen a million faces die |
| And I wonder who will walk with me When I get there |
| See this woman sitting next to me She’s been there for a long, long time |
| And when I fell, she picked me up When I cried, she wiped my tears |
| I thank god she’s mine |
| And when I leave this world |
| She won’t have anything |
| But her love for me |
| 'Cause the man took everything else |
| Made me hate myself |
| So just let her be boy |
| Won’t you let her be |
